I'm from Delaware and I'm a stay at home mom of 2 kids- almost 2 year old girl and 4 month old boy. I've always been overweight, but was never that concerned about it until I held onto the baby weight. After my daughter was born, the weight just fell off. I weigh 195 now and have tried to lose weight but the scale won't budge!! I've heard that losing weight is 80% what you eat, and 20% exercise. I've cut back to 1300 calories a day, but it seems like I really need to exercise. It's hard to get ...

I'm from Delaware and I'm a stay at home mom of 2 kids- almost 2 year old girl and 4 month old boy. I've always been overweight, but was never that concerned about it until I held onto the baby weight. After my daughter was born, the weight just fell off. I weigh 195 now and have tried to lose weight but the scale won't budge!! I've heard that losing weight is 80% what you eat, and 20% exercise. I've cut back to 1300 calories a day, but it seems like I really need to exercise. It's hard to get the time and energy when you have 2 kids under 2.

My Goals:
I need to lose weight! I want to be able to run around with my kids and I want to be more attractive to my husband!

My Program:
I cut back my calories to around 1300 a day. I try to add veggies and beans to every lunch and dinner. My downfall is exercising! I hate it! I have no energy taking care of 2 kids all day. My son won't sit in a stroller. I'm hoping to start mall walking soon.

Welcome to Sparks! I am so glad you decided to join us. There is so much great information here. I see you do not like to exercise do you like to listen to music and dance? I love putting on music and dance around the room, you could march with your little ones and make it fun. That is the key to make it something fun to do. Hope to see you posting often. I am a click away if you need to "talk"!Big High Five for trying to look and feel better. Hugs. Pat
